Finally, someone besides my gaming group catches the HFB joke!
Well, since Morrus posted this on the news page, I felt guilty about not updating, so here's a bunch more information. I'm such a tool.
Spell Changes:
Fly: fly 60 (40) for 1 m/l, good maneuverability
Air Walk: thread on air like on ground, 10 m/l
Dimension Door: no pure weight limit, but take one medium sized creature with maximum load with you / 3 levels
Teleport: still has % table for on/off/similar/mishap
Lesser Planar Binding, target: outsider or elemental with 6 HD or less, you can ask the creature to do stuff, creature can get free with charisma check vs DC (15+1/2 casterlvl + casters Cha), once request is completed the creature is free after telling the caster. Maximum duration day/level
Planar Binding; up to three outsiders/elemental with total up to 12 HD, Greater Planar Binding; up to three outsiders/elementals with total up to 18 HD
Reincarnation:
It now has a Material component (rare oils and unguent worth 1000 gp or more).
The body part(s) you're using must have been part of the creature at time of death.
If the creature was 1st level (or had 1 HD), it loses 2 constitution instead of 1 level or 1 HD; this loss cannot be repaired by any means.
A creature turned into an undead or killed by a death effect can't be returned to life by this spell, neither can someone who has died of old age and constructs, elementals, outsiders and undead.
You do not gain automatically the language of the new form.
Not only a wish spell, but also a miracle spell can restore a reincarnated character to his/her original form.
There is no mention of becoming a magical beast when reincarnated into an animal.
The table list now humanoids and is used for humanoids receiving the spell (Bugbear, Dwarf, Elf, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Half-elf, Half-orc, Halfling, Human, Kobold, Lizardfolk, Orc, Troglodyte, and Other/DM's choice). For other types of creatures the DM should create a similar table or choose the new form.
Improved invisibility--> Invisibility, greater lasts for 1 round/level(D)
Disintegrate: causes 2d6 /level cap at 40d6 --when reduced to 0 hp, the target is disintegrated--successful save is only 5d6 damage
Enervation: range 25 ft + 5 ft/2 lvls -- text changes: bolt has become a ray; undead gain 1d4x5 temporary hp for 1 hour
Enlarge person, mass: lvl S/W 4 -- one humanoid/level, no more than 30 feet apart
Fly: 60 feet/40 feet -- 1 min/level -- save: will negates --minor text changes: no feather fall if dispelled within an antimagic field
Heal 10 hp/lvl cap at 150 pts
Heal, Mass: C 9 Healing 9 -- as heal, 250 pts cap -- range: close, Targets: one or more creatures within 30 feet of each other

Symbol of Persuasion C/S/W 6
